hi plaguedogs
I've been test running spup-451 . it seems to agree with my ten year old compaq presario p3 450. Network does its usual magic loading the right module and getting me out on the net.. The firewall also does its happy little thing and protects me. what can i say ? it's running smooth and easy . There's no big strain on my 384megs ram. As for the slackware packages in puppy package manager, they install nice and easy . I like the feel of 451 and the penguin wall paper rocks . I've been running live cd cause i only got a ten gig hd ,but who knows i just might try a hd install. oh and you were right about renaming the compilers to devx-451 . They popped up in terminal just like they should. Well, won't talk your ears off , keep up the good work and rock on !

the penguin came from mandrivia, i like how it fits into the default icon layout, it seems to compliment them nicely.

if you try a full hd install, let the installer run its course....then it will freeze your desktop, or at least it does for me. ctrl+alt+backspace to a terminal.
xwin back in. unmount your target partition, and run grub from the menu.

no you dont need an account. use the link at the top of my first post.
scroll down to the bottom of the page and click "download now with file factory basic" scroll to the bottom again, there is a 30 second timer, when the timer expires, its replaced with text that reads "download with filefactory basic or upgrade to premium" click the download with basic text and the download will start.
this puplet has not generated a lot of interest, which sort of surprises me; doesn't everybody use slackware?
my next build will be 2.6.29.6 kernel, with opera, wine, psx, and some other stuff. mainly a cheated virtual box module. 2.6.29.6 src refuses to build one for me so i took one from a different install and did an "insmod" and it worked.
i will do a 2.6.30.5 or 31.5 for my other boxes, but my main machine needs 29.6. i will put these on file factory for my own convenience, but will post the links here for anyone else whos interested.

@Plaguedog- no, we don't all use Slackware, I don't because I could never work out how to install it. I am surprised that there is little interest. I have an extremely minimal install of Debian Lenny, (minimal because the computer crashed near the end of a full Gnome-Lenny install). It works well, boots faster than Puppy Live. BUT it is very sparse, and I can't find things like pmount in the repos- any useful little thing like that either doesn't exist, or comes as part of Gnome/KDE. One thing that strikes me is that the Debian people do like to customise apps, whereas I understand that Slackware use apps in their native state, which I reckon should make spup easier to maintain than dpup.

hi plaguedogs
i'm still running spup 451. I agree with gerry about installing stuff from slackware. Most of the headaches of past tries have to do with dependacies or the lack of finding them . many are use to "like myself" apt-get from debian. I've been exposed to gslapt and slapt-get too however. Don't get discouraged interest in spup will grow. Remember there are other puppies running around the kennel at present both new and patched. I personally would like to learn more about spup and help where I can. I'm still in a learning curve with slackware so be patient with me I like the feel and smoothness of spup , such things aren't easy to duplicate. I'm sure you have had many moments when you would like to bang your head against the keyboard, but just hang on. You have friends and more will show.

thanks for the support guys, especially gposil for hosting my iso. so im still working on getting my 2.6.29.6 built, i also have a lot on my plate in real life. i really enjoy puppy and slackware and will make time to continue this project. hopefully one day someone could look at the hacked scripts from the other thread (slackware puplet, back to the drawing board) and get a slable build from slack 13 pkgs. is everyone happy with the package manager? im not. i had to use files from a different build to make it work and its not using the repos like i want it to. on the other hand it seems to work a lot like the upup package manager, so maybe it is what it is.

im quite busy today, so ill get back to this when i can.

if you do a furgal and look at "NEWGRUBTEXT" you will notice that nosmp is passed, delete that if you have dual core. i think this is standard in puppy since the smp kernels came out.

-edit

dea85f809ab969ed2f04433b4c6d8f7a spup-451.iso is what i have.
i wonder what thats all about, maybe file factory scrambled the iso

-edit again

im really pressed for time right now but, i will dowload a copy from file factory and md5 it to see what happens, i might have to get a good copy uploaded, ill post back tonight.

micko, your post was exactly what i was looking for. funny thing, i had that libpoppler thing fixed in my early builds, i guess i overlooked it this time around. epdfview will be broken too, but should work with your aforementioned symlink

nico edit i sort of gave up on, early builds had it removed, i left it in this iso to try to force myself to fix it. i have never used it, i use geany for everything, and e3 for everything without x

as for the menu icons, they are low priority for me, but any suggestions on a fix are welcome.

ill do an alpha 4 based on this with bugfixes. the latest woof has changed a little so ill get to that another day. my personal build with an older kernel, wine opera and vbox, will get a different version name, probably spdp-45x.

i am excited to see some feedback and will do what i can to keep this going.
thanks everyone

btw, im still getting the same md5 as i always did,
